About Georgette

Georgette Esquivel-Chand is a licensed therapist who helps adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and low self-esteem. She works with people who are managing relationship change, chronic health concerns, grief, and the emotional strain of caregiving. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and are grounded in a culturally responsive perspective.

She uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat in a person’s life. That work helps people see where old wounds influence current choices. Georgette also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take steps toward a more meaningful life.

Internal Family Systems is part of her approach for people who want to learn how different parts of themselves relate and respond to stress or trauma. That method can be useful when someone struggles with self-criticism, shame, or intense emotions.

Georgette is dually licensed in California as an LMFT and LPCC and brings six years of clinical experience to her work. She emphasizes collaboration and practical tools alongside deeper reflection, so conversations can cover immediate coping and long-term change.

People meet her for help with anger, communication problems, attachment concerns, substance issues, and challenges related to aging and geriatric issues. She aims to create a clear, steady space where people can talk through what matters and try new ways of coping.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Georgette uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking, clarify what matters to them, and take small steps toward those values. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

She also uses Psychodynamic Therapy to look at recurring patterns and early experiences that shape current behavior. That work can help people understand why they react in certain ways and open new choices in relationships and decision making.

Internal Family Systems is used to identify and dialogue with the different parts of a person that hold emotion, fear, or judgment. This can be helpful for those dealing with shame, trauma, or strong self-criticism.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Georgette will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on how someone responds and what they want to focus on.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit regular meetings into a busy life, save travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce the need to be on camera for every appointment. These practical benefits can help therapy become a reliable part of daily routines without promising a specific format.
